Alternative Power Source for Dental Hygiene Device Engineering Analysis Team 15: Nizar Almansouri Ningbiao Jiang Francisco Heath Jin Niu Jiaqi Xie
Contents of Presentation • Problem Statement • Design Overview • Battery Specifications • Inverter Selection • Packaging • Charge Indicator • Gantt Chart • References 1
Problem Statement NAU Department of Dental Hygiene • Humanitarian work in remote areas • No electricity available to power Wig-L-Bug
Design Overview Inverter Wig-L-Bug Battery
FAA Regulations • Equivalent Lithium Content (ELC). ELC is a measure by which lithium ion batteries are classified. • 8 grams of equivalent lithium content are equal to about 100 watt-hours. • 25 grams of equivalent lithium content are equal to about 300 watt-hours. • Passengers can carry Up to 2 spare lithium ion batteries, not installed in a device (between 8 and 25 grams aggregate)
Battery Specifications • Two batteries will provide enough power to run the device all day • Batteries will be separate to meet FAA regulations
Inverter Analysis Pure sine wave and modified sine wave Output Waveform
Inverter Analysis Harmonic distortion of the electrical current waveform Harmonic Distortion
Inverter Analysis Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) THD = Pure sine wave inverters are more expensive, but will run all AC loads, and are best for sensitive electronics.
Charge Indicator A small set of LEDs that indicates state of charge Possible addition if time allows
Packaging Resists rough handling Complies with FAA regulations Cheap and Lightweight
Conclusion Battery only Design Battery Specifications Inverter Analysis Charge Indicator Packaging
